SUMMARY:Vigils Reading
DESCRIPTION:THE SALVATION \nOF THE WORLD \nFrom a sermon by the Venerable Bede \n◊◊◊ \nJesus said to the Apostles: “Thus it is written\, and thus it behooved Christ \nto suffer\, and to rise again from the dead\, the third day: and that penance and \nremission of sin should be preached in his name\, unto all nations.” \nSo it was necessary that Christ suffer\, and rise again; because it was \nimpossible for the world to be saved unless God came as one of us\, Who\, \nappearing in our own nature\, would teach us how to serve God\, and Who\, \nsubmitting to death in his humanity\, would triumph over it by divine power; \nand thus awaken in those who believed in Him a contempt for death\, and kindle \nin them a certain hope of resurrection and of life everlasting. \nFor in what way could we be more truly encouraged to believe in the glory \nto come\, and to strive for eternal life\, than by knowing that God Himself had \nbecome a Sharer of our humanity and our mortality? In what other way could \nwe be more efficaciously appealed to\, to suffer evils of every kind for the sake of \nsalvation\, than by learning that our own Creator had undergone at the hands of \nthe impious infamy of every kind; and\, even the sentence of death itself? \nFor what reason could we more fittingly accept the hope of resurrection\, \nthan through remembering that we have been cleansed and sanctified by His \nsacraments\, and made one in His Body Who\, tasting death on our behalf\, \nspeedily offered us an example of rising from the dead? \nIt was then necessary that Christ should suffer\, and rise again from the \ndead the third day\, and that\, as He says\, penance and the forgiveness of sin be \npreached in His Name to all nations. For this it was necessary that first the \nblood of Christ should be shed for the salvation of the world\, and that afterwards \nby His Resurrection and Ascension he should open to us the gates of heaven.
